State disputes appeal of condemned man

A jailhouse snitch's recanted testimony is not new and should not be included in an appeal by a death row inmate set for execution Dec. 13, the state argued Tuesday in papers filed with the Florida Supreme Court.

Angel Diaz is scheduled to die for killing the manager of a Miami topless club in 1978. He has asked the justices to consider the recanted testimony or send the case back to a lower court for a ruling on whether he should get a new trial.

Diaz has raised the recanted testimony issue without success for 17 years, wrote Assistant Attorney General Sandra Jaggard. A sworn statement by Ralph Gajus says he falsely testified at Diaz's trial that he implied his guilt during a conversation while both were inmates at the Miami-Dade County Jail.
